Decor: A little birdy told us

For years now, couples have been giving gift totes to out of town guests arriving for their weekend wedding affair. There's a zillion option of adorable totes but this one touched us.  You might say it's because we are bird lovers.  For a fall wedding in a rustic, woodland area, these are beautiful.  And they can work for winter weddings as well.  Now that we are writing this article, it's quite seasonless.  To us, they are insanely perfect.

Cakes & Sweets: Snacks

We know that this post is about Cakes & Sweets but with our ear to the ground, the word in the wedding world and the specialty food industry is that savory snacks are in.  So in.

And there's nothing as healthy, interesting, creativity as hummus and hummus crackers for either a wonderful cocktail display or a midnight snack after a couple hours of dancing.  With restraint and ingenuity, hummus can be transformed from simple to understated elegance. Believe us.

Inspiration: Swing Swing Swing

When it comes to weddings, the after party lounge is here to stay.  But this little twist on a swing sofa has us thrilled.  This beautiful white swing couch is actually from Gwynth Paltrow's Tribeca duplex.  The queen of cool can not only walk the red carpet but she can also decorate space. We took this image from gawker.com and can't stop drooling.  You might not be able to put a swing sofa in your next event, but don't you like the fact that it's possible?

Photography: Be yourself

This charming photograph from Kevin Chin was taken of local filmmaker, Justin Fone of Justin Fone Productions and his beautiful wife, Keo just minutes after the "I do's".

We love the exuberance and spirit of this photo which shows the profound joy shown in just a smooth skip.
